Maths@Sea,
Writing@Sea and Maths@Sea+ are exciting learning tools designed, developed and
delivered by professionals in nautical education and Coracle Online.
Using
nautically flavoured examples and language the course leads students to apply
basic, yet key, maths concepts and also covers elementary aspects of algebra,
geometry and trigonometry.
Maths@Sea is
equivalent to GCSE level maths.
The course is
used as a diagnostic testing tool for those applying for scholarship funding,
as an evaluation course for prospective MN officer trainees or a refresher
course for seafarers taking OOW certification.
This takes the
next step into more advanced mathematics. It contains 5 core modules:
Algebra,
Trigonometry, Charts and Bearings, Introduction to Functions and Calculus.
Using maritime
language and concepts the course is designed with seafarers in mind who are
comfortable with the elementary aspects of Maths@Sea and are now taking OOW or
higher levels of certification.

helps you to:
Get to grips
with the fundamentals of written English
Organise ideas
and express them with confidence
Draft written
reports, letters and emails
Identify common
mistakes made with apostrophes, spelling and punctuation
It is
tailor-made for the maritime sector and uses examples, assignments and tests
using familiar seafaring language and imagery. The course can be used as a
handy reference tool once elements have been completed.
